Default rear anti-sway bar, please help clarify..

I know this has been discussed many times before, but I am a bit confused. I want to reduse body roll in my Avant (with the sport package), so according to other posts that I've read here, I should install a rear bar only. So I contacted Hotchkis about getting just a rear bar and there response was:

"This is only sold as a set. If you only put the rear bar on you will
induce over steer and add ton of body roll.
The advantage to the front bar is that is set up to the rear, tightens
up the steering, and adds more bite on the tires."

So now I'm not sure what to do. Maybe Hotchkis is just trying to get me to spend more and buy a set but they have a lot more experience in this than I do so I have to assume that they know what they are talking about. Any thoughts?

neuspeed sells just the rear bar and with the sport pkg, your front should be sufficient enough.

Default If you want to reduce body roll, you want BOTH bars...

You want only the rear if all you're concerned about is to reduce understeer. H-Sport sells a kit that includes a bigger front bar and an even bigger rear bar (% increase from stock-wise) that both reduces body roll and understeer.

I have H-sport and love it.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like doing both bars is the way to go.
